Keyboards: The iPad Pro M4 supports the Magic Keyboard, which provides a premium typing experience with a floating design and backlit keys. The iPad Air M3 and iPad 11 are compatible with more basic keyboard cases, suitable for casual typing and light productivity.

The new iPad Air features the M3 chip, offers two screen sizes, and supports all the Apple Intelligence features. The 2024 iPad Pro, on the other hand, stands its ground as the most powerful tablet ever made.

Less than a year after updating it with the M2 chip and introducing a larger-screen option, Apple gave the iPad Air another hardware refresh with a power bump. To boost its already formidable productivity chops, Apple also treated the iPad Air to a new, more affordably priced Magic Keyboard with a dedicated function row.
